Hill
Walking – the nearest Munro is Ben Lomond,
only a 20 minute drive away. The Arrochar Alps and Ben
Vorlich, among others, are easily accessible. For the
less ambitious, the Conic Hill (1,000ft) rises above
Balmaha and affords spectacular views over the islands
of Loch Lomond. Or perhaps just a lovely lochside walk
from Passfoot to Millarochy Bay.
Boats – hire from The Balmaha
Boatyard just across the Bay. Trips are available on
the famous mailboat to the islands. Inchcailleoch itself
is worth a visit to see the ruined chapel and graveyard.
Bikes – hire locally, there are
lots of forest tracks and quiet roads to explore. A
favourite trip is to take the Sir Walter Scott steamer
to the head of Loch Katrine and then cycle back along
the lochside road.
Bird watching – is a popular
activity with a nature reserve at the mouth of the River
Endrick within sight of the cottage.
Golf and Fishing – facilities
are all nearby.
Culture/History – within easy
reach of Glasgow, Stirling and Edinburgh with their
castles, museums and theatres. Or just relax at the
end of a busy day. |
